-- It's an old joke: How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Spend years rolling around in broken glass and peanut butter and arguably inventing punk rock! Actually, that might not quite be right. But nevertheless, Iggy Pop will perform at the 20th annual Tibet House Benefit, which will come to Carnegie Hall on February 26. Philip Glass will serve as the artistic director for the event, which raises money to present and preserve Tibetan culture. Glass will also perform, as will Patti Smith, Regina Spektor, Gogol Bordello, BaabaMaal, and others. Brooklyn Vegan reports that Dirty Projectors will also join the lineup. UPDATE: The Dirty Projectors appearance has been cancelled.

-- This spring, the British label MoshiMoshi will begin releasing albums in the U.S. They'll start on March 30 with Yeah, So, the debut album from indie poppers Slow Club. And on April 27, they'll follow it up with a double-disc set from lo-fi crew the Wave Pictures, which will include the albums If You Leave It Alone and Instant Coffee Baby.

-- This April, scrappy British rockers the Wedding Present will celebrate the 21st anniversary of their Bizarro album by playing it in its entirety on every date of their North American tour. You can see the band's dates here.

-- The Canadian music fest called Canadian Music Fest will come to Toronto this March 10-14. The Canuck-heavy bill features the Constantines, Neon Indian, Handsome Furs, Vivian Girls, RJD2, Born Ruffians, Plants and Animals, Cadence Weapon, Dillinger Escape Plan, Harvey Milk, Simian Mobile Disco, the Rural Alberta Advantage, the Besnard Lakes, Hot Hot Heat, Javelin, and Think About Life. Plus, it's always fun to see a festival bill where Our Lady Peace ranks way above Daughtry.
